  • Publish digital and multimedia reports and creative stories
  • Accept assignments and follow up on news tips
  • Strong journalistic integrity and creativity
  • Maintain notes and audio recordings from stories/sources for review when necessary
  • Work in collaboration with managing editor and chief content officer

Skills We Need You to Have:

  • Experience or education as sports reporter
  • Strong writing and speaking skills
  • Multimedia knowledge (websites, photo, audio, video editing)

What You Can Expect from Us:

  • Bi-weekly pay for stories published
  • Editorial support and management to help you grow as a writer
  • Flexibility - write for us without having to keep full-time hours
  • Opportunities for growth and advancement, if you want them

You'll Need to Share Our Mission and Uphold Our Guiding Principles

Mission: With a focus on the public interest, LINK Media advances the Northern Kentucky Metro in the region, the commonwealth and the nation by providing transformative coverage of the news of the day with focus on the deeper issues that matter most to our community.

Guiding Principles:

We are:

Solutions-Focused: We don’t just report the news of the day. We dig deeper, informing our audience about how our community might solve its biggest issues. 

Unapologetic NKY Fans: We believe in this community—in what it is today, and what it has the potential to become. We want to see this community advance, and we understand the part that we play in that advancement. 

Inclusive: We explore the issues that affect all of Northern Kentucky, and give a voice to all segments of our diverse community.

Good Stewards: It is our responsibility to make good use of our resources and to maintain a sustainable business model, so that we may serve the community long into the future.

Independent: The publication does not make endorsements, or publish our own opinions, about the issues that are facing Northern Kentucky. In addition to our reporting, outside opinions from multiple viewpoints will be sought, and clearly marked as such, in order to provide the robust debate that our community needs to make critical decisions about our collective future.
